Young guy about 30, says he took tech classes at Vo-Tech and worked 4 years for another firm then went out on his own 5 years ago. I would have no problem recommending him.

Should have just used an impact gun. At least then you know that the nuts are tight! Glad I dont work on cars. Heck I wouldnt be allowed to work on cars. I have no certifications other than an AC license.
